Kapuhonu

Clever code for a complex world

Kapuhonu is a full stack web architecture & design agency.

Our team is an amalgamation of coders, designers, and architects. We share a burning passion to be awesome at what we do and constantly learn new techniques, technologies, and tools.

Though we work with a variety of platforms and technologies, we have especially deep experience with Salesforce and the Force.com platform—every member of our team holds at least one Salesforce certification and some as many as nineteen.

Our Services

We use technology to build tools and systems that solve real business problems. As much as we love tech, it's not useful if people can't understand it or it doesn't help them.

Salesforce

Leverage the power of the data cloud via Salesforce.com. Kapuhonu is well-credentialed and knows the platform inside and out.

Application Design

We've helped reinvent the ice industry in Africa, controlled machines around the world in realtime, and augmented lead acquisition in higher education all through custom web applications and hardware.

Integration

As many things in the web world have gotten simpler and easier, your options and the connections between systems have explosively multiplied. Lean on us to guide you in getting the most value out of your connected systems.

Our Manifesto

Grow a company that feels like family, where every member feels empowered

Have a positive impact on the world

How We Do It

Overhead and inefficiency bloat project costs and make us sad. We continually look for ways to trim down and streamline our process, and collaborate effectively with clients and other team members.

We are big fans of Agile methodologies, and we use a mix of Scrum and Kanban to manage our workflow. Our team uses JIRA to track projects and Slack to talk about them. Honesty and transparency are core to our business mission.

Our Clients

We have the chops and savvy to operate in the enterprise space, but the demeanor and humility to be approachable to small businesses and individuals. Our clients are disparate in geography, size, and ambition but share one thing in common: they are well taken care of.

Much of our work is white-label for other groups and firms. It's not unusual for us to be brought in to architect and run large projects that need a steady hand on the tiller.

Clients hire us for more than just building systems and sites. We're frequently engaged to:

Consult on existing projects to help identify risks, gotchas, and design weaknesses

Rescue troubled projects that are floundering and at risk of failure

Bridge the gap between technical and non-technical teams to help facilitate clear communication

Lead a complex or difficult project and its team

Integrate smoothly into existing teams to support and catalyze them with our energy and expertise
